Prince Harry Joins Royals for a Posh Garden Party at Buckingham Palace
Prince Harry attended a garden party hosted by the queen at Buckingham Palace today with cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Kate Middleton and Prince William were absent, but they did attend a garden party with Her Majesty last week.
Meghan Markle and baby Archie were also missing in action.
Prince Harry had a royal family outing today at Buckingham Palace, attending a garden party hosted by the queen with his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. It was a rainy but nonetheless posh occasion; the Duke of Sussex dressed up with a three-piece suit and brought along a top hat and umbrella.
His grandmother, stayed true to her colorful style with a pastel pink coat and hat (and a matching plastic pink umbrella!). Meanwhile, the Princesses of York coordinated in nude and floral dresses.
The Queen was joined by several members of The Royal Family today including The Duke of Sussex, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The Sussexes shared happenings from today’s gathering on their official Instagram, explaining that garden parties are a royal tradition dating back to Queen Victoria’s time in the 1860s. In modern times, the sovereign hosts four garden parties a year to recognize guests “for the good work they’re doing in their communities.”
The attendees at today's party included guests personally invited by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including representatives of African Parks, Invictus Games, and more.
Meghan Markle and baby Archie were unfortunately absent from the celebration, but she and Harry did attend a garden party honoring Prince Charles’s patronages last May, just days after their royal wedding.
